Given that Conor's fanbase seems to consist primarily of hot young ladies, I'd probably be claiming some sort of family relation if I were 20 years younger and unmarried. A cute little store clerk in Texas asked me that question last year, and after I told her I wasn't related to Conor, she said "He's *dreamy*!"
I guess I could technically say that we're related, since there are Oberst geneological records that indicate that we'd be 7th or 8th cousins or something like that, but I don't consider that to be "related"--and apart from the hot young lady factor, why would I want to claim relation to such a warbling no-talent?
